Shopping

I got this book from the library.....it's by Cassandra Ellis who is a designer originally from New Zealand but now based in London.

......so that saved me some money as I didn't buy any magazine...... So I bought a Rob Ryan Calendar. This picture is so me! They also had it on a bag.... But it was far too expensive.

.....and I also bought this daylight Ottlite for £28 from Amazon. They had them in the quilt shop for £48 and so I thought it was just what I needed. It's been great for sewing in bad light and also for taking photographs. The base and shade are plastic and so even though its bigger than I expected, it's still quite portable.

I adore Rob Ryan!! He makes tiles and my husband gets me one each year. I'm hoping to have enough to make a coffee table top or something one day!! I really need one of those lamps, my eyes will be shot with all the embroidery I'm doing in the evening. And please let us know what you think of the book x
